Health and Fitness? Today? Tomarrow?

At certain times in our lives, we become aware of issues in life thru repeated messages to us.

So I recently reached an age where I've joined a large political group.

I've been running for most of my life and I've enjoyed the runners lifestyle... But I must also acknowledge that those Haagen Daz bars and Oatmeal cookies have added up... to 20 pounds in the last three years.

I bought a new bathroom scale (digital) and now have started tracking my weight on my laptop (excel).. I have created a chart displaying my weight change over the last 60 days..

Diet -- Nutrition

We take pills - vitamins and Herbs.... etc for health.. but vegetables offer many nutrients for our health.

I watched "super size me" and "thank you for smoking" -- I recommend these for your health too!

And also Nacho Libre, and Little Miss Sunshine!! For your Mental Health too!

My meal plan:

Breakfast:

Granola with Tri Berry Mix

Lunch:

Lean Ole Burrito with fresh veggies:
- Mini Peppers and Carrots
- Red Peppers provide large amts of vitamin C.

Dinner:

Salad with Onions, Celery, Cucumber, Tomato, Ginger, Horseradish ..
Mixed vegetables: Corn, Carrots, Beans

Grilled Chicken, small baked potatoes (dry butter replacement)

Dessert? I eat enough such that I do not have dessert..

Later in the evening? Tea... with some honey...
